Don’t Rush Me

You ever performed out of your mind and were happy with the results. I mean, you were just thrilled with the progress you made by yourself. You did it by yourself with no one else's help

Why is it that people think you are sad when you "lose"? I AM NOT BLUE! If I think I'm going to win every competition, then I have the wrong mindset. I am not looking for a quick fix or fans. I'm looking to develop as a competitor. So the next time you come with your head leaned to the side or shoulders shrugged, save it. I AM NOT BLUE! 

Also, don’t think because I’m not sad about my loss, I’m limiting myself either. Don’t put your ideas in my head. I have my journey to follow. I’m not discouraged because I did more good things than not. I probably didn’t get all, but I got a lot done. I’m building from my last match. I’m moving forward. I might be disappointed, but not when you expect me to feel these emotions. Please don’t feel grieved for me because I’m not.

If success were that easy, how would life be? Many people would have risen to the top in no time, but it takes time. We all move at different speeds. Don't rush mine.
